A Howling in the Woods in PDF

 

A Howling in the Woods is a gothic suspense novel by Velda Johnston, first published in 1968 by G.P. Putnam’s Sons. Set in a small, secluded town, the story follows Liza, a woman returning to her hometown after the breakdown of her marriage, only to find herself entangled in eerie mysteries, strained family ties, and the unsettling howling sounds that haunt the woods surrounding the area. The novel blends psychological tension with romantic suspense, a hallmark of Johnston's style, appealing to readers of mid-20th-century gothic fiction. Its atmospheric setting and slow-building mystery contributed to its popularity, and it was later adapted into a 1971 made-for-TV movie starring Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman. The book has since been reprinted several times, gaining a modest cult following among fans of vintage gothic literature.
